Application and May 15, mos. Serial u aaaaea To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GUsTAvA. BAUMANN, a citizen of the United States, and residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of .Illinois, have invented a new and useful lrnprovement in Garments, of which the following is a complete specification.

This invention relates to improvements in insect rotectors, and more particularly to a suit. adapted to (protect the wearer from the other injurious insects.

In many localities fleas and other insects which attack the body are so numerous that it is desirable to provide means to protect the body while asleep from their ravages. Heretofore no garment has been provided for this purpose which is separable to render it suitable for night wear, and which is capable of being tightly closed at its jonits about the wearer to prevent the insects from passing therethrough.

The object of this invention is to provide an insect protecting garment of a separable nature adapted to be 0 ened easily by the which is capable of joints between the having the overlapping y c osed to prevent the various parts tight ingress of insects.

A further object of the invention is to provide an insect protector which is adapted to be easily put on or removed by the wearer, and so constructed as to effectually prevent insects from entering the same.

The invention consists of the matters hereinafter described in the s eciiication and more fully pointed out an defined in the appended claims.

In the drawings: Figure 1 is a front elevation of a device embodyin my invention. Fig. 2 is a front elevation of the 'acket with its joint flap open. Fig. 3 isa ront elevajoint flap open. As shown in said drawings: A indicates a pair of pants of any desired material capable of preventing insects from biting or assing through the meshes of the weave, an which are provided with integral feet portions 0. so waist and'lower extremities of the wearer are entirely inclosed and protected. The pants are provided with a waist portion a and at a distance below the top thereof is rigidly secured a ruflie or flap (t which is p rovided in its outer margin with a puckcring string (L or any other preferred means adapted to secure the'flap in uprightposition about the waist of the wearer, as sh own more I clearly in Fig. 1. The jacket may also be of any preferred material and is provided at its bottom with a puckering string 1) so that when the jacket is in place the bottom portion thereof overlaps the waist a of the pants, and said uckering string 6 may be tightened about t lines in Fi 1, and the flap a turned u Wardly an its string tightened to hold it securely about the bottom of the jacket,

The sleeves b of the" jacket are with integral glove portiohs b, an right collar 6 is provided and adapted t closely about the neck of the wearer. A flap 6 is secured at the base of the collar and is provided with a puckering string 6 in its outer margin by secured in lace. A hood is provided and is adapted to fit over the wearers head with its lower portion overlapping the collar 6 A string 0 is secured in the bottom the hood to enable it to be tightened about the collar, and preferably the hood is provided with a face screen 0' in the front thereof ada ted to keep out the insects but to permit t e passa e of air therethrough.

. he operation 1s as follows: The pants and jacket are laced on the wearer with the bottom of t e jacket overlapping the waist of of the pants and secured by its string 6. The flap (2 is then turned up over said bottom and secured by its string a thereby tightly closing the joint. The hoodis then placed on the head with the bottom portion thereof overlapping the collar 6?, and the flap b is turned upwardly and secured about the same by means of its stringbi, thus closing the neck joint.

Obviously an insect protector constructed in accordance with my invention will effectually keep insects from the wearer and is adapted to be easily put on or removed Obviously also many details of form and construction may be varied without departing from the principles of my invention.

I claim as my invention:

1. In a device of the class described the combination with an upper and a lower garment adapted to overlap at their meeting edges, a flap on one of the same adapted to fold over the overlapping portion of the other, and 'puckering strings on said flap and the bottom of the upper garment adapted to secure them tightly in lace.
